Nishi Ward, Fukuoka

Nishi Ward stretches from the urban neighbourhoods around Meinohama to Imajuku, Susenji and the eastern side of the Itoshima Peninsula. It is a useful base for combining city travel with coastlines, parks and a trip to Nokonoshima Island.

Areas to explore
Meinohama is the main transport and shopping hub. Ferries for Nokonoshima leave from the Meinohama passenger terminal, while Odo Park and the nearby waterfront suit a relaxed walk. Imajuku and Susenji lead towards beaches, cafés and the wider Itoshima area.
Getting around
The Fukuoka City Subway continues onto the JR Chikuhi Line through the ward, making rail useful along the main corridor. Coastal and island destinations may also require a bus, ferry or car. Check ferry and bus times together when planning Nokonoshima.
